14 THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1996 Mustangs play spoiler role against Oakville side BY ALEX TOUGH Staying with the 'gold card' issue for the time being, the latest information, which is a repetition of an earlier state- ment by the person himself to a group of young tryout officials, is that he is the holder of a grade-two status. Apparently this was 'granted' upon an unsolicited upgrade review by visiting European Officials. Well now, this is not how upgrades happen in reality. Firstly, the official listing 280 GUELPH STREET GEORGETOWN MARKETPLACE Servicing Georgetown, (905)873-3050 Acton, Rockwood and Sur- rounding areas for the past 6 years.

For appointment call: 873-3050 shows our man is a grade- three, although it could hap- pen that an official is up- graded during the season. Not so in this case, however, as the column is informed. Sec- ondly, alien officials do not carry out assessments; the provincial body has the man- date. Thirdly, officials are required to request assess- ment through their official organization in the main. Occasionally an assessment may be carried out on in- structions from 'above'. But 'gold card' should be as- sessed and for reasons other than upgrading. Updating the Mustangs latest 'derring-do' is a pleas- ure. The girlsunder-14 squad made the trip to the strong- hold of Oakville andreturned with asatisfying 3-1 win. The result leaves Oakville almost unable to win the division title and their coach was dev- astated by his team's per- formance. The Mustangs out- played their more fancied opposition and thoroughly deserved the result. The Town team is on a good run at the moment, having lost only once in their past six. Jacqueline Holdwell net- ted twice, Ashleigh Lynn once with Ana Rupoll and Alanna Zelek strong in de- fence. The Inter-County Mens League had a couple of inter- esting games last week. Ea- gles and Meteor played off a knock out penalty kick shoot off in addition to a normal first division league match. The shoot out went to the Meteor by a 5-4 count, the Eagles sending an effort wide of the goalpost. Also, one kick was retaken as the Eagles 'keeper was Darts season nears BY ALEX TOUGH Special to The Gemini We are at that time of year again when we should be thinking, although briefly, of our fall and winter activities. The Wednesday night In- dustrial League is set to hold a pre-season captains meet- ing at the host premises, McGibbon Hotel on Wednes- day Aug. 14 at8 pm.. Return- ing teams and anyone inter- ested in entering a new team are welcome to attend. In the meantime, last season's cap- tains will be contacted to re- mind them of the meeting. The season's opening night will be set on that night. The Halton League is, at the moment, about to arrange their pre-season meeting night, likely before the end of the month, based upon prior years. Team and player registration may well be fi- nalised around the 25th of the month. Play traditionally commences the first Monday night in September. Brackys is hosting a blind draw open doubles on Aug. 19 andthe inter-Brackys team nighton Aug. 26 asan opener. Several establishments, new to the league, have ex- pressed an interest in hosting and sponsoring teams. They should be putting up lists for those interested in playing, in the meantime, in order to test the market. The Halton league execu- tive usually visits the bars to test the interest and provide information. | am certain this year will be no exception. More later, as matters de- velop. judgedto have moved before the ball was kicked enabling him to save the oncoming shot. Meteor, subsequently, scored on the retake. The ensuing league match ended in a 3-3 tie with cau- tions and an ejection thrown in for good measure. Merseyside lost 1-0 to Meadowvale, in another con- troversial game. Mersey are alleged to have played an unlisted and unregistered player, a repeat of the previ- ous week's match with Me- teor. The case goes up before the executive commitee on Thursday evening. Forest lost 5-2 to second- place Britannia, going four goals down before warming up. Oneplayer refused to play the second half for Forest, being somewhat uunhappy, to say the least, with his teammates. Meanwhile, Blazers took advantage of a shorthanded Lions squad to win 4-0. Cal- edon were given a 1-0 walko- ver default by P.R.P.A. Second division play also had its share of controversy. Lowly Buzzards defeated just as lowly Stingers 4-1, with the losers registering a pro- test of the winners using ille- gal players. Atthe top, United dropped a decision for the second week in succession. This time out, Mariners inflicted a con- vincing 4-1 loss on the, still, leaders of the division. With the win, Mariners leapfrog into a third-place tie with S.H.L., whilst holding tie- breaker advantage. Ajax lost 3-1 to Acton Villa, who remain in second- place. Acton Rangers con- tinue in last-place following a4-0 loss to Harps. And Mil- ton took full points in a 4-1 win at S.H.L. = BOTTLED WATER CONSTRUCTION ATTENTION BOTTLED a S WATER DRINKERS: SameeS Be We a Have * CUSTOM HOMES . Be = Pure ater .
